So I want to get a new jacket sometime this season or before next but I really don't know what brands to look at. I want a shell jacket or one that has similar style to the saga anomie. I won't buy saga bc of all the gapers wearing it now and my current mountain hardwear jacket just doesn't have the style I want. Hmu if you know of some good brands or jackets

If you want a good shell and have money for gore-tex go for any brand jacket that has gore-tex. I have had my burton ak gore tex jacket for 5 years and it's great.

The street style was always there but the quality was always low kinda . Just can't compare it to some of armadas upper end shells . Night and day.

Buy full Tilts



Seriously tho, Marker, Oakley, and Arcteryx make seriously good Gore-Tex shells that look steezy and are in general awesome. They might have a hefty price tag but are 100% worth it for the amount of use you can get out of them

I'm a big fan of arc'teryx, the rush jacket is awesome.

But for real, where de you ski? Which type of skiing? I won't tell you to buy a lithic comp jacket if you're just lapping park....

Knoble Standard.

I did this review, and have been skiing it everyday inbounds. Favorite well styled inbounds jacket I've ever worn, and reasonably priced:http://blistergearreview.com/gear-reviews/knoble-standard-jacket

Orage is always high quality but pricy armada is nice, check out bloom outerwear too though they make some sick jackets and have great customer service!

Bloom Onward. Its soo sick. Definitely feels like a shell jacket, I always have to wear a sweatshirt under it here in Wisconsin. I'm 6'1 with an XL, its around mid-thigh and the upper part of the jacket fits slimmer.
